Ingolstadt vs. Heidenheim: Tipps, Prognosis & Odds - 07/31/2021 - GERMANY: 2nd Bundesliga
Can the FCI prevent a false start?
For every newcomer, it is of fundamental importance to have a successful start to the new season one floor higher. On the one hand, to maintain the euphoria of advancement and to continue swimming on the wave of success. On the other hand, so that players, managers and fans get the feeling relatively quickly that they can keep up with better teams.

FC Ingolstadt did not do exactly that last weekend. Logically, the Schanzer are already a bit under pressure on the second matchday at home against 1. FC Heidenheim. The violent 0-3 clap in Dresden should be forgotten and, at best, the first three should be retracted. If we look at the betting odds between Ingolstadt and Heidenheim, a home win seems rather unlikely.

According to bookmakers, the role of favorites lies with the men of coach Frank Schmidt, who did not get beyond a goalless draw at the start against Paderborn, but increased the pressure more and more in the final phase, but without being successful. Nevertheless, the greater wealth of experience as well as the higher individual quality speaks a relatively clear language in favor of the red-blue, who want to stick to the top of the ranking.

Ingolstadt - statistics & current form
It is anything but common for a coach to voluntarily provide his position after promotion. Tomas Oral from FC Ingolstadt did exactly that. After the 48-year-old had failed with the Schanzern in the relegation against Nuremberg in 2019/20, he led the former first division team in 2020/21 again in third place, but this time with the better end in the promotion games.

It was all the more surprising that Oral, as well as sports director Michael Henke, announced in the summer that they would be leaving the club. With Roberto Pätzold, a coach took over from his own stable, who previously trained a maximum of the youth in the club and has neither player nor coaching experience at this level. Even after the first match day, a small discussion was sparked in the media as to whether this decision would not fly around the ears of those responsible afterwards.

Is Ingolstadt paying the tuition again?
The main reason that the first critics came out of their holes was undoubtedly the start of the league in Dresden, which was lost without a doubt with 0: 3. The Upper Bavarians only got a single shot on goal in the Saxon state capital, had only 33% possession of the ball and ultimately paid a lot of hard work. And that against a fellow climber ...

On Saturday, the FCI expects an established and ambitious second division team in its own stadium, who could once again uncover the obvious weaknesses of the Pätzold-Elf in the defensive area. Even if the coach announced in the matchday interview that the problems had been analyzed, we would definitely refrain from predicting a point win for the home side between Ingolstadt and Heidenheim.

The personnel situation also contributes to the displeasure of those involved. With Ben Balla, Butler, Elva, Gaus, Kotzke, Kurzweg, Schröck and Sussek, not only many, but above all important actors are out due to injuries. Against this background, it seems questionable whether the Schanzer can maintain their impressive home series. In 2021, not a single match at the Audi Sportpark has been lost. However, the opponents rarely or never had the level of the 1st FCH.

Expected formation of Ingolstadt:
Buntic - Heinloth, Neuberger, Keller, D. Franke - M. Stendera, Röhl - Boujellab, Bilbija - Eckert Ayensa, Kutschke

Heidenheim - statistics & current form
Last season, 1. FC Heidenheim only had four points after six match days. Strictly speaking, the topic of promotion was as good as eaten after the first third of the 2020/21 season. Accordingly, coach Frank Schmidt attached great importance to the start of this season. However, this has not been entirely fruitful.

At home against SC Paderborn, the Red-Blue had to be satisfied with a 0-0 draw. For long stretches of the game, the necessary penetrating power on the offensive was lacking. The strong storm duo Kühlwetter / Kleindienst found no connection to the game, which was also due to the fact that the East Westphalia attacked early and mostly only long balls flew in the direction of the attackers.

Cool weather and small service as trump cards in the ball possession game
Against the Schanzer we expect another game on Saturday. Heidenheim will have even more possession and meet an opponent who will act more defensively. Accordingly, Kühlwetter and Kleindienst will get more promotions, which should increase the likelihood that the odds on the away win between Ingolstadt and Heidenheim will pay off. Qualitatively, the guests are to be assessed much more strongly.

From the point of view of the Ostalb troops, it will be important that the away record from the previous season is hidden. With just five successes in 17 guest appearances as well as a total of only 18 collected points and a clearly negative goal difference, the 1st FCH was one of the weaker away teams in the league. It is quite possible that these statistics will also turn into a good portion of motivation to want to do a lot better abroad in 2021/22. With the exception of Kerschbaumer, coach Frank Schmidt can draw on unlimited resources.

Expected formation of Heidenheim:
Ke. Müller - Busch, P. Mainka, Hüsing, Föhrenbach - Theuerkauf - Sessa, Burnic, T. Mohr - Kühlwetter - Kleindienst

Direct comparison / H2H
For many years, FC Ingolstadt was a kind of feared opponent for 1. FC Heidenheim in the second division. The 4: 2 success of the Red-Blue in May 2019, which also sealed the relegation of the FCI, was the very first victory in the sixth attempt for the 1st FCH, which previously scored just two goals in five games.

For Heidenheim keeper Kevin Müller, matches against the Schanzer are not associated with good experiences, after all, he has never managed to keep the zero in his six personal duels. If this changes on Saturday, a corresponding tip can be submitted between Ingolstadt and Heidenheim, for example via the Tipwin app.

Bet base forecast & Germany Ingolstadt - Heidenheim Germany tip
Elevator crew meets pure continuity. This heading would also be absolutely appropriate for the upcoming duel between the FCI and the FCH. While the home team has played through three leagues since 2014, the guests from the Ostalb belong to the inventory of the second highest German division.

Among other things, this means that lower odds on the away win are offered between Ingolstadt and Heidenheim. The Schmidt-Elf is traded as a favorite, which in addition to the greater experience and the higher quality is also due to the impressions of the first day of the game.
The Schanzer lost 3-0 in Dresden, while the Red-Blue team won a point at home against Paderborn. Even if the statistics of last season might point more in the direction of the hosts, we are convinced that the tip on the three of the guests between Ingolstadt and Heidenheim will pay off.
